This profile is a representation of the winning phenotype(s) selected by Dirty Bird Genetics during breeding. Series: BETA Filial Generation: F2 Flowering Time: 80-85 days from sprout to harvest Cannabis Type: Hybrid Yield: Medium/High Phenotypic Variation: Moderate Plant Morphology Strong vertical growth, averaging 23″-27″ in 3 gallon pots. Skull Island F2 develops dense, sugary buds on all floral sites (floral initiation starts around week 5). Expect a high calyx-to-leaf ratio with little need for defoliation and extremely sugary green buds. Terpenes Spice, chem, diesel, and pine, with a funk that leans dark and savory. Caryophyllene dominant, followed by limonene, humulene, and linalool. Effect An uplifting and creative/cerebral effect to start, followed by a powerful body high. Notes from the Grower(s): Skull Island was the first autoflowering strain that Dirty Bird bred, first harvested a year ago this May, that had the wow factor we were looking for in an auto. It became the first official project on our docket to work forward and lock in. While we are still hard at work on this project, finishing our F3s at the time of this release, we thought it would be fun, and potentially even helpful, to let some of these F2s out into the wild for people to try out. The very first notes I took on this strain read: “Banana daddy x strawberry gorilla is INCREDIBLE. Huge yields, high density, and insane sharp spicy banana smell across the board. Terps range from licorice to pine to banana.” F2s are notoriously the most diverse filial generation. The variation in Skull Island F2 is mostly in regards to height and terpene profile. If you’re looking for a strain where every plant is identical, this probably isn’t the best choice. But if you’re looking for surprises, Skull Island F2 is a great choice. Overall, the Skull Island’s flower shape was quite consistent. Almost all of the plants had large, conical buds that came to a peak at the top with a fat circumference around the middle. We observed a couple of plants (around 15%) that had dome-shaped flowers. Some flowers wanted to stack along the central cola more than others. The taller plants—which were in the minority, by far—didn’t stack as well as the shorter plants did. All of the plants yielded well and formed chunky colas. Density did vary a bit. While none of the flowers were fluffy, they ranged from rock hard to spongy at harvest. Consistent density is something we are actively selecting for. All of the plants had thick, self-supporting stalks and medium internodal spacing. Some formed very bulbous calyxes that looked like clusters of ripe pomegranate seeds, while others had a much more compact, highly dense structure. Our very favorite plant was one that had very dense flower and a high calyx-to-leaf ratio. Even live on the plant, it appeared to have the kind of flower that crumbles to dust between your fingers when you break it apart. The Skull Island F2 was incredibly greasy, so much so that we had to change our gloves while harvesting them. Lastly, we have the terpenes! The terpenes were one of the things that really drew us to this cross. They are so complex, and they are consistently pungent from plant-to-plant. While there was a lot of variance in terpenes, they were all a part of the spicy, sour/chem, gas family and they leaned dark and savory. Some individual plant observations included: • Spicy Licorice, Peppery Gas • Grape, Fuel, Candy • Sharp Rubber, Putrid Gas • Bright, Funky Chem, Pine • Sweet + Sour Banana We you hope you enjoy hunting these, and stay tuned for a more refined version of the Skull Island in the near future!
